“Not true. There are millions of folks here and around the world, young and old, who love Monty Python. Given the fact that so few people pay attention to or understand politics, a popular personality like him would have a lot of influence.”

I don’t doubt that he had an influence back then, or that he doesn’t still have some sort of hold on people past middle-age. My point is, Monty Python was 30 years ago. The last time Cleese was actually popular was no less than 20 years ago. I’d worry more about The Daily Show or Saturday Night Live, or anything else people still watch.

I definitely agree with that, but he still has a large following, both young and old. I've talked to a bunch of young people (under 30) who are big Monty Python fans.
